Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 large ripe peaches (about 3 pounds / 1.4 kg), peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
  • ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed (use vegan butter for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter your baking dish lightly or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice your peaches into about ½-inch (1.3 cm) thick slices. Place them in a large bowl.
  3. Add ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon to the peaches. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer the peach mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon sea salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well.
  6. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the peach filling without pressing down.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for a crumbly topping. Use firm peaches that yield slightly when pressed. Thaw and drain frozen peaches before use. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Let crisp rest after baking to thicken filling. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions available.
